Dozens of new CVS sites that can administer the COVID-19 vaccine will make booking appointments available from Saturday in Massachusetts.
The additional 34 vaccination sites join 51 stores already activated in the state, bringing the total number of CVS pharmacy locations giving a vaccine in Massachusetts to 85.
CVS initially announced the opening Thursday, as Massachusetts continues to create more accommodations to expedite the vaccinations. The state has also launched a pre-registration website that allows all adult residents to sign up for a waiting list, regardless of whether they are still eligible according to state guidelines. They will not be contacted to book an appointment until they are eligible.
CVS says its stores are receiving more shipments of the vaccine and eligible residents can start booking appointments for the latest allotment of doses from Saturday. These appointments include the availability of teachers and staff.
The news comes when the US administered 100 million doses of COVID-19 on Friday, with 35 million people fully vaccinated.
